The Star Outside My Window

by Rauf, Onjali Q

ISBN: 9781510105157

A girl runs away from her foster home to get to the Royal Observatory of London to try and name a newly discovered star after her mother who was murdered by her father.
I've always wanted to be a Star Hunter. Grown-ups call them astronomers, but I think Star Hunter sounds much better. I was going to become one when I finished school, but I can't wait that long any more. You see, I have to find my mum.
Everyone says she's gone, but I know that's not true - I know she's turned into a star. She's breaking all the rules of the universe to find me again and I'm going to break all the rules I know to help her do it.
